"I'm so sorry!"
In front of him was a row of goblins bowing and apologizing to him.
But Xifa is still filled with anger.
What is this?
Gringotts is a wizarding bank, so how can it do insurance business for the Ministry of Magic?
No, the invaders did not choose to attack the Ministry of Magic, but instead destroyed Gringotts.
That’s all.
I am inside.
If you don't know "Mage's Hand".
If the intruder had enough time, his life would stop here!
It's a pity that I don't have enough strength and no backing.
These goblins were only polite on the surface, and Xifa didn't see the slightest apology in their eyes.
"Is an apology enough? How do you explain this to my grandfather?"
Elise, who had tidied herself up with cleaning spells, asked the leading elf dissatisfied.
The leading goblin thought to himself, although Elise's family only has her and her grandfather left.
But they were once from a distinguished pure-blood family.
Just an apology is too disrespectful.
Think of this.
The goblin looked respectful and said in a contemptuous tone.
"Okay then, I'll make the decision and give each of you two 1,000 gold galleons as compensation."
"You!"
Seeing this, Xifa couldn't see that Elise had no way to force Gringotts.
"Okay, give us the money and we'll leave immediately! Just pretend what happened this afternoon never happened!"
Xifa pulled the red-faced Elise behind him and said in a strong tone.
"This little gentleman is still reasonable!"
The leading elf had a professional smile on his face.
————————————
"This is not a place for talking. Stay away. Let's talk as we walk."
Xifa knew that Elise must feel uncomfortable.
As soon as they left the house, Xifa took the initiative to speak. He wanted to enlighten Elise's mood.
"Go this way, you need to buy a bag to carry things."
Elise's tone was calm, but there was no doubt that she was sulking.
Looking back, I can no longer see the gate of Gringotts.
Xifa approached Elise and slowly explained the reason for her actions.
"I don't know what's going on in your family, but if Professor Dumbledore was really your grandfather, even if he wasn't your biological grandfather, the goblins wouldn't have this attitude towards us."
"Of course, I guess your family has been glorious in the past, otherwise the goblin wouldn't offer to compensate us with gold coins."
"Finally, I don't know if goblins have the ability to dare to attack innocent wizards. Even if they can't, I don't dare to bet on whether they will pay dark wizards to get rid of us."
"Based on this last point alone, settling the matter with Qian Ning Xi was our best choice at the time."
......
After listening to Xifa's words, Elise said nothing.
She put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and occasionally kicked away the stones in front of her with her toes.
Just as Xifa was reflecting on whether he should continue to comfort Elise with words.
But she suddenly spoke.
"Actually, my name is Elise Fergus. The deputy principal of Hogwarts is my grandfather."
"I grew up in a castle. However, my grandfather was busy with work every day, and Professor Dumbledore always took me."
Xifa was very sensible and did not ask further questions.
After a moment of silence, Elise continued.
"Our family became lonely during the Wizarding War more than 20 years ago. Now, we are the only two people left in such a large family."
"What about your parents? Where have they gone?"
Xifa was very puzzled. Judging from their age, Elise's parents had obviously survived the previous war, but from Elise's tone, it seemed that she had never met her parents.
"More than ten years ago, my parents gave birth to me and died in the battle against Grindelwald in Paris."
Xifa thought for a while, more than ten years ago, it seemed to be around the time of Fantastic Beasts 2.
"Père Lachaise Cemetery?!" The words blurted out from his mouth.
Elise in front paused, turned her head, glanced at Xifa with her beautiful eyes full of surprise, and nodded.
"Yes."
"Sorry to remind you of sad things."
"It doesn't matter..."
There was another long silence, and the cheerful shouting and fighting around them seemed out of place for the two people who were busy walking.
"Arrived!"
Elise stopped and said.
Zhuo Lin's backpack
Xifa glanced at the store sign and thought to himself.
This time, it was he who took the initiative to hold Elise’s hand and enter the store.
Pushing open the store door and looking at the dazzling array of backpacks in front of him, Xifa fell in love with a black backpack at a glance.
Just when he stepped forward and wanted to take it off to try.
Elise let go of Xifa's hand.
She came to the blue waist bag and stood on tiptoes to take it off.
When he came to Xifa, he pretended to put it on Xifa.
See Elise’s firm attitude.
Helpless, Xifa had no choice but to cooperate obediently.
"Boss! How much!"
After walking around Xifa, Elise was very satisfied.
She turned around and shouted to the boss who was watching the show at the counter.
"Eight hundred gold galleons!"
The boss said jokingly, he could see that Xifa was not well dressed, but business can't be given away for free, right?
Having guessed what the boss was thinking, Xifa could only smile bitterly.
Elise, if I hadn't received a sum of gold galleons as compensation from Gringotts, I really wouldn't have the money to buy this valuable item.
"Quite reasonable."
Elise nodded and said nothing more.
Although, the belt bag is not covered with powerful protective magic, nor is it enchanted to prevent theft.
Based on the above introduction alone, the application of the traceless expansion spell and the weightless spell is enough to be worth the price.
"When we first meet, I treat it as a gift to you!"
After saying that, Elise stepped forward and took out the gold galleons to pay the bill.
Xifa also understood that this was Elise's symbolic repayment of the kindness of being protected by her.
This could make Elise feel better, so Xifa didn't say anything more.
After walking out of the store, the two continued walking down the street in silence.
"Elise, let's take a look at these magic paintings?"
"Okay!"
"Elise, let's go buy some candies?"
"Hmm!"
"Elise, let's go take a look at the broomsticks?"
"Humph~"
...
Xifa was a little distressed, but it seemed that Elise was really interested.
For this reason, he could only sigh silently in his heart.
Don’t guess what a girl is thinking!
The temporary separation is just for the sake of meeting each other better.
As evening approaches, a few stars can already be seen in the eastern sky.
The two returned to the Leaky Cauldron Bar where they first met.
Elise transferred all Xifa's things to Xifa's pocket.
"When you get home, remember to ask your owl to write me a letter."
Before Xifa could ask where Elise’s home was.
Standing in front of Xifa, she suddenly stepped forward and pecked Xifa's cheek.
Then ignore Xifa who stays where he is.
He turned around and trotted to the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron without looking back.
"Hogwarts!"
In a burst of fire.
Elise disappeared in front of her.
Xifa actually felt a little sad and a little happy.
But in all these moods, when he walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, he called for his snowy owl to squat on his shoulder.
When we face reality, everything disappears.
It's so late, all the buses going out of the city have stopped running.
How should I go back to the orphanage?!
Xifa slapped his forehead suddenly!
***The author has something to say***
How does it feel to try this kind of plot for the first time? (*￣︶￣)
